We partnered with OnBoard for a special debate that looked at board effectiveness and building leadership teams that are fit for the future.
In an ever-changing global business context, this debate is timely and will see experts from various sectors discussing how you can best build a leadership team that will deliver not only growth and profit, but purpose too – in an environment where sustainability, people, and community matter more than ever.
The discussion also comes off the back of a recent Board Effectiveness Survey, that was commissioned by OnBoard.
